"I've been watching these presentations since I became a Shriner a year ago. They have helped me bring useful ideas to my temple and have helped me run events confidently. I'm looking forward to more in the future and I recommend them to all my fellow Nobles!"
"The information provided was very dynamic and related to all aspects of the current state of all organizations.”
“Having completed graduate degrees in leadership and business, I was pleased to see organizational leadership concepts applied directly to Shrine operations. More importantly, these ideas were reduced to their essential components so that anyone who watched the presentation can start using them immediately. Well done!”
Students will gain knowledge and skills needed to implement change and growth at their organization that will lead to long-term overall improvement in the areas of membership (recruitment, retention and engagement) and marketing and communications. The courses span three learning levels: introductory, applied and strategic. Each level is recognized with a certificate.
Upon completion of the required education for each learning path, the student will receive a certificate in recognition of their achievement at either an Apprentice, Fellow or Masters Class level.
At virtual events and the in-person conference, students will have the opportunity to exchange information and ideas with their peers from Shriners International and other Masonic family organizations. As we work together for a common cause, our organizations will also benefit from this important collaboration and community building.
Students who complete all virtual seminars and the in-person conference will receive SIEF’s Noble Academy highest recognition for membership and marketing, digital recognition badge, an invite-only reception at the in-person conference, a recognition certificate and exclusive access to a Masters-Class only private social media group.
